Concern about the aging population tends to focus on the adequacy of Medicare and Social Security, retirement of older Americans, and the need to identify policies, programs, and strategies that address the health and safety needs of older workers. Older workers differ from their younger counterparts in a variety of physical, psychological, and social factors. Evaluating the extent, causes, and effects of these factors and improving the research and data systems necessary to address the health and safety needs of older workers may significantly impact both their ability to remain in the workforce and their well being in retirement. Health and Safety Needs of Older Workers provides an image of what is currently known about the health and safety needs of older workers and the research needed to encourage social polices that guarantee older workers a meaningful share of the nation (TM)s work opportunities. 606 $aOlder people$xEmployment$xHealth aspects$zUnited States 606 $aAge and employment$zUnited States 606 $aIndustrial hygiene$zUnited States 615 0$aOlder people$xEmployment$xHealth aspects 615 0$aAge and employment 615 0$aIndustrial hygiene 676 $a363.11/00973 701 $aWegman$b David H$01806039 701 $aMcGee$b J$g(James),$f1950-$01806040 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.) Committee on the Health and Safety Needs of Older Workers. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959384503321 996 $aHealth and safety needs of older workers$94354977 997 $aUNINA
